Brazzoli
Innodye® dyeing technology
Brazzoli reports that in case of 100% cotton, with any reactive dark
dye, the dyeing times can be reduced from five hours to approx. three
hours, while cotton/polyester dyeing time can be reduced from six
hours to four and one-half hours.
Innodye® dyeing technology features a perforated drum that moves
sideways as the fabric goes into the dyeing machine through the Turbovario.
The motion is synchronized automatically and the fabric is plaited
which reduces foam and increases the interaction between the dye or
treatment bath and the fabric.

Pozzi was established in 1885 and has been producing dyeing and finishing
machines for the textile industry since 1925.
The latest creation, the new SYNCHROWASH is a patented new technology
of washing, which allows important savings both in water consumption,
energy and cycle time during the dyeing operations.
SynchroWash System by Pozzi
SynchroWash system for
wash water control on air-pad dyeing machines was introduced in 1999.
SynchroWash continuously drains the dirty water and allows filling
only when the spent water is sufficiently concentrated, with a 30%
reduction in cycle time for reactive dye cycles.
Panter
Rapier weaving machines
Panter manufactures rapier weaving machines in a range of widths and
has sold its machines to China, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Vietnam,
Taiwan and Turkey.
Panter had demonstrated on one of its machines a quick change from
negative rapier to positive rapier (or vice versa) in 20 minutes at
ITMA 99 in Paris. It still provides this option to enable handling
of a broad range of filling yarn types.
A direct-drive motor, which drives the machine without belt/pulleys
or clutch, is becoming standard on all Panter weaving machines. The

Another important feature of the control equipment is the Auto Cop
Changer, a device for the automatic change of packages which, when
connected to many MESDAN LAB instruments, allows an automatic control
of the physical characteristics (such as torsion, friction coefficient,
uniformity) of different yarn lots.
Splicer kit for elastic yarns for Autoconer 238 and 338
Mesdan has especially designed a kit for yarn splicing core spun elastic
short staple yarns with excellent results and perfect control of the
lycra yarn inside the joint .
The application of this kit upgrades the splicing performance of Schlafhorst
original splicer due to higher splicing efficiency leading to an increased
productivity of Schlafhorst Autoconers.
The new kit offers a superior quality
of the joint in terms of appearance, resistance and CV% values.
The superiority of Mesdan solution is
even more evident in case of high count elastane ( e.i. Lycra 156
Dtex) and high draw ratio.

and has its own line for continuous yarn mercerizing type "MC-2000"
integrated by the special beam-to-cone rewinding system type
"RS. 2000".
Denim Rewinding Line "RB-2000 + RS 2000 System for the production
at Indigo-denim cones for knitting from Ropes or Warps of original
indigo-denim dyed yarns.
Recently, Jaeggli Meccanotessile has delivered a new line of RB-2000
+ RS-2000 in Iran to Nil Bat Denim Co.
It is possibility to unwind small beams with an objective to obtain
simultaneously many cones by the reliable RS-2000 system.
Jaeggli-Meccanotessile decided to use the system for other end-users
and studied the application for the integration of the rewinding lines
to the new or existing Continuous Indigo Dyeing ranges of any type,
both for ropes and for warps.
Bianco
new weft straightener
Considerable improvements have been introduced in new Bianco weft
straightener machine, and its ability to identify defects together
with its more general level of efficiency and performance has been
enhanced.
The new readout heads which, fully exploit the current processing
capacity of the latest generation of microprocessors, are able to
absolve the user of any need to make choices (for example, passing
or reflex type readout), permitting scanning of the fabric in both
modalities, without the intervention of the operator, and piloting
the control electronics on the basis of the most effective management.
Bianco weft straightener (Touch screen panel)
In addition, an original heads handling
system that permits an analysis of weft progress that is particularly
sophisticated when compared with systems currently in use: the modality
presented permits readout of the weft in its totality, and not just
by samples, as usually occurs.
An innovative modification to the system is a mechanical correction
of observed defects, making it possible to increase the efficiency
of the machine. This has been made possible by equipping the new weft
straightener with a so-called "2+1" system, which ensures
a particularly valid adaptation potential. In point of fact two diagonal
cylinders have been inserted, together with two curved cylinders for
greater correction, plus a further curved cylinder (on a diagonal
frame) for "fine" correction. To this end, the latter corrector
cylinder has been positioned just 75 cm from the readout heads, providing
a significant increase in the specific operational efficiency of the
overall system. Some details of the significant evolution of new machine
are:
· readout heads rotation speed (from 100 to 1000 RPM) makes
it possible to carry out from 200 to 2000 analysis per minute, in
both reflected and passing light conditions, or even with both at
the same time;
· which is in turn possible due to the sophisticated sources
of illumination, comprising two high power pulsing infrared light
illuminator, respectively exploiting the passing and reflected light;
· as regards the readout modalities, it is possible to achieve
automatic assessment of the verification conditions, in other words
the best way to read the fabric, without the intervention of the operator.
· The machine chooses the optimum signal between that obtained
with passing light and that obtained with reflected light: in other
words, it chooses, by itself, the most advantageous signal filtering
system;
· This involves considerable new potentiality, derived from
the validity of the oscillating readout bridge, which can have from
4 to 6 heads, connected serially to the electric panel of the weft
straightener;
· in addition, the readout heads, software (and control boards)
can be updated using a normal portable computer with "upgrade"
data available on the Internet;
· New Bianco model can operate with work temperatures ranging
between -40° and +85°C while at the same time offering IP67
protection levels.

NEW VERSION OF Spyra 6 Compact for the fabric finishing sector
After the SPYRA versions with ten and four tumblers,
Biancalani SpA now offers a new version of Sypra 6 Compact.
Spyra 6 Compact by Biancalani
This is a version of the SPYRA with six tumblers: a
tumbler machine for softening, drying and provides maximum natural
compaction. The ten-tumbler version of the machine has already been
on the market for about two years; the version with four tumblers
was introduced more recently, to the great satisfaction of its users.
SPYRA 6 Compact is very versatile and can operate with both continuous
and discontinuous treatments.
In addition to being aimed at manufacturing companies that are oriented
towards mass production, the SPYRA 6 Compact has been found to be
very useful also for medium to small producers who handle small lots
and who do not want to sacrifice quality in the treatment of their
fabrics. Indeed, the handling of fragmented productions with this
new machine becomes extremely easy.
SPYRA 6 Compact enlarges the SPYRA range by addressing itself to all
companies that wish to increase the value of the product and that
require efficacy and operative simplicity of their work instrument.
SPYRA obtains innovative results of very great impact for all types
of textile manufactures.
The Spyra 6 Compact dries, softens and compacts woven, nonwovens or
knitted fabrics in rope form. The six-tumbler machine features rotating
or oscillating drums that perform the softening and compacting action.
The goods are delivered into the entry, where air jets convey them
to the back of a tumbling chamber that oscillates from side to side,
without introducing knots and tangles associated with traditional
batch tumbling dryers. According to the company, the machine is versatile
and can be used with continuous and discontinuous treatments, as well
as in fragmented production cycles.
